XviD plays on PC ok but not on DVD Player

[bassquake]

Hi.

I have a divx file that runs fine on my pc, but on my standalone dvd player it plays back very jerky when theres a fair amount of movement on screen.

The player is Peekton PK6006 HDMI.

Ive copied and pasted as much info from GSpot:

Container
File Length Correct
DivX Style "packed bitstream" AVI
OpenDML (AVI v2.0)
Interleave: 1 vid frame (42 ms), preload=480
Audio frames: Aligned on interleaves

592 x 320
SAR: 1.850 (37:20)
PAR: 1.000
DAR: 1.850 (37:20)

I thought it might have been because its a "packed bitstream", but I tried unpacking it with MPEGModifier to no avail.

Other things Ive tried seperately:

Stripped out sound. Didnt work.
Remuxed sound. Nope.
Rebuilt index with DivFix. Nada.
Unpacked bitstream and rebuilt index. Nope.

Nothing made any difference. Its like when theres movement onscreen the bitrate is too high. But its only 849kbps. Could it be the GMC it uses?

Help appreciated. Thanks.

Hi!

1) Do you have the same problem with discs you've burned in other formats?

2) What brand and MID of burnable media are you using?

3) Just to be clear - Does the BURNED media play properly on your PC?

4) Have you tried playing the disc on a different DivX-certified standalone player?

Could it be the GMC it uses?That's certainly a possibility...

[SeeMoreDigital]

That's certainly a possibility... There's no certainly a "possibility" about it... Any MPEG-4 stream containing 3-warp-point GMC (ie: Xvid) will be the principle reason why the file will not play in any "stand-alone" player!

EDIT: That particular test disc contains a useless (multiple point) GMC test scenario.

Cheers

Thanks for a quick reply...

1) Do you have the same problem with discs you've burned in other formats?

No problems so far.

2) What brand and MID of burnable media are you using?

Im using Verbatim DVD+RW. I like to test video files on the player before permanantly burning them to a Verbatim DVD-R. Ive done many files this way.

Info of the DVD+RW from DVDIdentifier:
Manufacturer Name : [Mitsubishi Chemical Corp.]
Manufacturer ID : [MCC]
Media Type ID : [A01]

3) Just to be clear - Does the BURNED media play properly on your PC?

Yep. Plays fine from disc.

4) Have you tried playing the disc on a different DivX-certified standalone player?

Unfortunately I dont have or know anyone else with one.

Hi,

I have the same SAP and it accepts a lot of things but:
- more than 1B-frames
- GMC
could be problematic or, (restriction for nearly all SAP) more than 4500 kbp/s near instant bitrate

These may be your culprits; if so you will need to re-encode your original(s) with SAP compatible params (Autogk does that very efficiently).

Ps: do not exlude other tips ;)

Looking at the divx testing table here:

Peekton DivX Test (http://www.divxtest.com/form/divxtest2_view.php?lang=eng&id_1=1)

Its pretty much identical to my player, only difference I think is mine has the hdmi.

Anyway, I think these are of interest:
VID-3C MPEG4 ASP multi-bframe without packed bitstream 3
VID-3D MPEG4 ASP multi-bframe with packed bitstream 3

VID-3G MPEG4 ASP with GMC 1 & 3 warp points test(DivX & XviD) 3

Im not too sure what ASP is though.

@BigDig - I might give reencoding a go. Never actually used Autogk or even any encoding myself! First time for everything. Seeing as you have the same SAP, do you have settings to recommend in Autogk?

hi,

MP4-ASP stands for advanced simple profile, with codecs like divx, xvid or nero (Asp)
on opposition with MP4-AVC wich stands for advanced video coding, with codecs like H264, X264 or Nero (AVC)

Cough...cough....
As a new member I urgently advise you to read these stickies: http://forum.doom9.org/announcement.php?f=6

and react accordingly.

Now for Autogk use the MTK profile, specially made for the MTK 1389 family. You may want to see the dedicated section:http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?f=28

Can see why what i said be mis-interpreted. Honestly, the video is a family birthday video from my uncle in the US. Saves having to send it on cd as post is lousy. Could ask him to reencode, and download again. Seems sending it would be quicker now!

Sorry I missed a bit of text out. I've corrected it now.

Re-encoded it with Autogk double checking the MTK chipset it selected. Plays fine now. No doubt dropped in quality but watchable. Thanks for all the help.

Hi,

If you have some time and some DVD +-RW you could try a
* 100% quality one pass encode with
* keep original for the audio and
* autowidth and
* sharpmatrix (Ctrl/F9)
and see if :
1/ that encode is accepted by the SAP
2/ the quality is better than your previous 2pass encode

Expect a total size around x3/4 more than the source file so if too much you could try lowering the quality percentage to 90 or 80% ...
